Scott McTominay’s Heart Surgery Update | MLS News

Scott McTominay, Napoli and Scotland’s midfield maestro, is set for surgery to treat a mild heart condition — a benign arrhythmia — using cutting-edge pulsed field ablation tech. The procedure, minimally invasive and highly effective, could see him back on the pitch after the September-October international break, potentially in time for Napoli’s October 10th clash. Though he’ll miss key games including Champions League fixtures against Inter and Arsenal, plus Scotland’s Nations League matches, his long-term health is the top priority. This episode underscores how critical early detection is in soccer, echoing past tragedies and recent retirements like Sergio Agüero’s and Christian Eriksen’s collapse — reminding us that player safety must always come first.
